t  Following any repair work on the front passenger's seat during which the seat and/or backrest cover are/is disengaged, the basic setting for the seat occupied recognition control unit must always be performed → Vehicle diagnostic tester.
t  The mat for the seat occupied sensor must not be bent or kinked.
t  The mat must be renewed if it is damaged (service kit).
t  The pressure hose for the seat occupied sensor must not be bent or kinked.
t  Make sure that the components of the seat occupied recognition system (service kit) do not fall onto hard surfaces, do not come into contact with grease and cannot be damaged by sharp objects.
t  Make sure that the mat, the fabric layer and all covers are not creased when they are installed.
t  Make sure that the seat padding and seat cover are in the correct installation position.
t  Renew all staples/clips and make sure they are correctly positioned on the seat.
t  The system's basic setting is only possible at temperatures between 0°C and + 40°C if airbag units 8.R and 9.* are installed, and only between 5°C and 35°C if airbag unit 10.* is installed.
t  Make sure there are no objects lying on the seat before or while you are performing the basic setting.
t  The use of loose seat covers - such as cushions or similar - impairs the function of the seat occupied recognition system and thus the function of the airbag system.
